This competitive stance places universities ina position similar to businesses, which must achieve customer satisfaction or face closure.A growing emphasis is being placed on implementing quality practices in education. Qualitystandards in education, such as the ISO9000: 2000 Z-1.11 guidelines and the Malcolm BaldrigeEducation Criteria for Performance Excellence are beneficial in that they provide a qualityframework for higher education institutions.Under ISO 9000:2000 revisions, guidelines for the application of
